It is amazing how a small bird can so quickly bring down a plane.

It's the same vid; and as I said in your thread as I did in this one, it's a CT-155.

The CT-155 is nothing to do with the F-15, F-16 or F-anything else. It's the Canadian version of the BAe Hawk as used by the Red Arrows.

That'd be the one. Going by memory, that was Friday, 14 May, 2004, in the mid-afternoon. I had just got home from Vancouver and saw the emergency crews recovering the pilots, and the crumpled remains of the aircraft. Just missed the event by about 10-15 minutes.

What the hell does "T 6 NL" mean?(first warning) I thought all military engines had to be rated for bird strikes.

It looked quite a large bird, and against a small engine like such as would be in the Hawk (Adour) then the chances of anything less than major engine damage are very small... Combine that with being a single engine type, and it's not going to be the crew's day...

Yesterday night one of our King Air charter flights exploded a bird all over the flippin right wing. Unfortunately I was the one to clean it.

Anyone think of the poor birdies.... Cry

JUST KIDDING!
SMASH 'EM ALL

Interesting side note, in my aerospace class, we had a guest speaker talking about gliders and he said one time he was flying in a thermal with a Turkey Vuluture (big bird) flying just above him, and suddenly, for no apparent reason, the bird dove straight into the wing of the glider and blasted a hole right through it. The bird obviously died, and the glider barely made it back I guess. Tongue

Well, "T" is temperature, "6" presumably be be Stage 6 of the engine, "N" is shaft rotation speed, "L" is Low Pressure (as in low pressure compressor).

T6NL probably is a warning about the temperature in stage 6 and the speed at which the low pressure compressor is turning.

As for being rated for bird strikes, smaller engines have a harder time dealing with birds than larger ones. Take the tests of the 777 engines almost everyone has seen for example, those massive blades decimate birds of any size and can keep on going but small engines don't dice birds up, they have to grind them. That is going to cause a lot of damage any way you look at it. An example of this could be throwing a cabbage into a lawnmower's blades and then comparing that to throwing one into those of a blender, it's much harder for the blender to make that cabbage into sauerkraut than it is for the lawnmower.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
